STEC’s international collaborators: a key part of our implementation pathway
4 May 2022
STEC is fortunate to have several leading international collaborators as part of the programme. Their roles include student supervision and involvement in both collaborative and self-led research. However, one of their key functions is to help the programme and its researchers connect to the wider s...

Stormflow water quality and suspended sediment measurements in the Manawatū catchment– towards integrated modelling
4 May 2022
Many erosion-sediment studies conducted round the world, including in New Zealand, have focused on sediment quantity in which annual loads from catchments are estimated. However, sediment quality is as important as quantity for predicting environmental behaviour and effects of suspended particulate ...

Policy-relevant stated preference estimates of national water quality values in New Zealand
4 May 2022
New Zealand’s freshwater is critically important for agriculture, recreation, cultural practices, and other activities and productive resources. New Zealand has had many national and regional efforts to improve water quality and received international attention in 2017 by declaring the Whanganui Riv...

Getting to the core of the problem: unlocking flood histories in catchments
4 May 2022
Floodplain coring is being used to unlock sediment archives in the Whanganui, Manawatū and Oreti catchments, as part of Imogen Doyle’s PhD project within the STEC programme. The understanding of flood magnitudes is limited by the short history and poor spatial density of the instrumental record. Flo...
